Our black olives are from the Cacereña variety. Native to the region of Extremadura, Cacereña olives are a black fruit, with medium weight (3-4 g), spherical in shape and slightly symmetrical. They have a round apex and a truncated base, as well as numerous small lenticels.

Cacereña is a dual-purpose olive, although it has a low oil content and is used mainly as an eating olive, the oil is of high quality. This is the reason that is used for the production of oil with the Gata-Hurdes Protected Designation of Origin status. 80% of the production of Manzanilla Cacereña olives is destined for use as eating olives (black and marinated) and only the remaining 20% is used for olive oil.

Firm flesh, fine texture and balanced flavour (sharp-salty). It is used as an appetizer, in salads and as a garnish in a range of dishes. Calibre: 240/260
